Biography
Concert Financial Planning is focused on helping BigLaw and Private Practice attorneys. By focusing on getting you on the right path early on, our intention is to help you achieve personal and professional goals with less risk of decisions that may slow or hinder your progress in the long-run. We are here to help you now, not just when you meet an investment account minimum.
You have a great career and are going to be wealthy because of the choices you've made in your educational and career paths. You are smart enough to do this on your own if you had the time and inclination to learn everything you need to learn, but you prefer to work with a trusted professional to help guide your decisions along the way. You want to feel more confident and secure in the process. If this describes you, then please get in touch.
